Variety: Dedicated servers and Rage - news you probably don't want to hear

Variety writes:

John Carmack, co-founder and technical wizard of the developer, says the company doesn't plan to support dedicated servers for the multiplayer component of "Rage," id's upcoming new action game.

"It's not cast in stone yet, but at this point no, we don't think we will have dedicated servers," he says.

Infinity Ward made the same decision for "Modern Warfare 2" and has been facing a massive backlash among its fans. The inevitable online petition has gathered over 183,000 signatures and even the developer has acknowledged the backlash.
